We're back together in the building, after 10 months of online church!  To celebrate, Chris uses the story of Solomon dedicating the Temple to reflect on the idea of sacred spaces and holy ground.  What makes a place sacred?  What makes the ground holy?  And does our humble little church building qualify?

It sure is good to be back together!

The King is returning to his throne!  In a reverse of the processional he had taken in chapters 15-17, David will once again encounter several people he had met earlier, in a completely different set of circumstances.  How will David respond to these men in this new context?  And more importantly for us: how will they respond to the King's return to glory?  How these men respond to the king may be instructive for how we too can respond to our King's mercy.

Plus: will the two year old live to tell the tale of her encounter with the dinosaur??  Will Abe live to tell the tale of his encounter with doppelganger Chris Lantz??\

The battle between David and Absalom will conclude when the rebellious son meets his fateful end.  David's emotional response is a devastating reflection of how our King responds to lost rebels as well.

Stay tuned for an extra large blooper segment, because you CCBC'ers are hilarious.
